The Outsiders (Jess's story)

Guys.

I guess the word got around that Dally had stayed the night in my house. The guys busted in the door to find him on the couch snoring and me in the other room sleeping.

"Damn Jess. You already have him staying at your house?" Two-bit said as he woke me up. "The next step is for him in YOUR bed."

"...gosh Two-bit what has gotten up your ass? I let him stay here instead of going to Buck's. Calm down." I said waking up. Soda sat down next to where I was laying.

"Yeah Two-bit. Calm down. I got further than Dal did. I'm on her bed!" Soda fell on me and Two-bit jumped on both of us. Steve walked in and stopped in his tracks.

"What in the hell are you guys doing?" He said with worry in his voice.

"IT'S A DOG PILE!!!!" Two-bit screamed.

"What is?" Dallas said walking in the room. Why is everyone in my room?! Ugh.

"Guys. Would you mind leaving so I can get dressed?!" I said laughing.

"Well sure thing little miss!" Soda said pushing Two-bit and Steve off of him and got up.

"Haha thanks Soda."

"Anytime!"

I got dressed in my DX shirt and shorts. I walked out of my room that was just filled with a buttload of people and now is empty.

"I'm ready!" I said to Sodapop and Steve.

"Okay. Lets go!" They said jumping up from the couch. They headed out of the house and I tried to follow. Before I could go out the door Dallas grabbed my waist and whispered in my ear.

"Don't forget. We are going to hangout tonight." I said okay and he let go.

"Bye Jess!" Dallas said.

"Bye Dally." I replied and went to work.

-----An hour before going home-----

"Hey. Nice to see you again." The guy Steve called Dan said as he walked in the door.

"What do you want?" I said flatly.

"To see what your doing tonight. So do you have any plans for tonight?" He said with a cheeky smile.

"Well yes she does." Dallas said coming from the garage.

"And what is that?" Dan said.

"Oh Daniel, why can't you just walk out and leave her alone?" Dallas said sounding pissed.

"Because that would just be horrible to ignore a pretty lady like her. Plus I am going to have to try and keep her away from you." Daniel said.

"Your too late then." I told him.

"It looks as if that's true. Don't worry though, because I will get her." Dan said as he walked out of the store.

"Well, I didn't know you were here Dally." I said shaking off what just happened. Daniel's voice still rang in my ear. 'Don't worry though, because I will get her.' It was haunting.

"I should've taught him a lesson. I should've beat the brains out of him." Dallas said still thinking about Dan. "It doesn't matter though. 'Cuz your still here." He said looking down at me.

"Yeah. I'm here." I said looking out the door.

"So, he's too late? I've got you?" Dallas said a little too happy.

"I guess so." I said turning around to face him. He had a black eye and wrapped up arm.

"Good. Now can we go?" Dallas asked.

"Well my shift isn't over yet Dal. Plus I'm not leaving until you tell me who did that to you." I said pointing at his eye.

"I'll tell you when your shift is over. Which is in 20 minutes anyway." He said glancing at the clock.

"Fine." I replied. Then Tammy walked in to change shifts. She was small and had long brown hair and green eyes.

"Hey Jess. You can go now if you want." She said walking behind the counter and glancing at Dal and me.

"Are you sure Tammy? You have 20 minutes before your shift starts." I said getting up.

"Yeah. It's fine."

"Alright well I'll go tell the guys I'm leaving. Have fun." I said walking out to the garage.

"Will do!" She said sitting down. I found where the guys were and told them Tammy was here. Me and Dally walked to my house so I could change out of my work clothes. After I changed into a tank top and jeans I grabbed my hoodie from the couch.

"Ready to go?" Dally asked.

"Yeah, but tell me how you got your black eye." I said walking up beside him.

"Randy came up to me talking about you. He wanted to know why you were hanging out with me and the other guys. I told him to fuck off. He said no. So, I punched him in the face. Before I could pull out my blade he punched me back." Dallas said looking at me. I could tell that my face showed a shocked look.

"Okay, but what about your arm Dal?"

"Buck was drunk and him and this guy were getting into a fight. So, I broke it up and Buck cut me on accident. No big deal." He said looking away.

"Oh." Was all I muttered out.

"Yeah, but at least your with me now. It makes my day way better." Dallas said taking my hand.

"I'm glad." I said rapping my fingers around his hand.

"I am too." Dal said.

"So, what are we going to do?" I asked after the long silence between me and him.

"You wanna go get a coke?" Dal asked in reply to my question.

"Sure."

We went and got a coke then we went to go see a movie. It was one I'd already seen. So it wasn't interesting. Watching Dally was though. He kept his arm around me the whole time. He walked me home and I went to bed. I told him he could stay the night again and he said thanks. I heard him leave 5 minutes after that, but I fell asleep.
